Gordon’s Kitchen

I think this restaurant is as good as Red Chilli. I called for delivery and they recommended a signature dish of beef, chicken and shrimp. Sorry I forgot its english name but that was very delicious. And their driver is really nice. I ran out of cash and he waited me for a while to find an ATM.

0* is what I rate this takeaway.
I have never in my life tasted a Chinese so bad, the company may as well of delivered a 2l bottle of oil and charged me £15 for it.
I’m originally from Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire and the Chinese takeaways only serve Chinese (not fish and chips) I find it so bizarre that the majority of Chinese takeaways here are also fish and chip shops. This takeaway should instead of concentrate on just one, and I would suggest fish and chips because they cannot do Chinese well at all!
The whole order was vile, I hate spending money on food that is of a standard I wouldn’t even feed an animal.
**AVOID!!**

That guy Tim O? He’s my brother and he knows his shit. No messing with pretense, he just likes what he likes. In fact he likes this chippy so much that he invited round to his house for dinner just to try it. We grew up embracing chippy food and my god we are not easily fooled. Example: that Atlantic Chippy in Chorlton with the big queue and the big reputation? DRY. The food is insipid. This place however, wins, because it just does what it does, humbley and awesomely well. Go there.

This is the best example of a ‘Chinese Chippy’. a gloriously northern institution. It’s the endless possibilities that excite me… mixing Hollands pies with Salt and Pepper Chips. or a mixed meat curry with sausage starter. Superb.
It does solid chippy fare and good Chinese food… If you want to stick to genres… but why do that!?

Excellent Chinese food to takeaway and fish & chips. They also do deliveries, and are closed on Tuesdays.

OK, guys, hold on to your hats. This here review is an example of Unilocal-​in-​action. That’s right; last night the boyf and I fancied takeout. But wwe didn’t want Japanese (sorry Wasabi) and Sayuri’s menu just isn’t extensive enough. So, off I Unilocaled, and came across Alfie’s 5 star review for Gordon’s Kitchen. I was intrigued, and the menu was good, and we’re within the delivery catchment area. Excitedly the boyf and I perused the menu, and ordered.
The delivery really was quick, the lady on the phone said 30 minutes, and it came in about 32. I like that. The Siu Mai dumplings were indeed awesome, a huge recommendation, and a bargain at £2.20, but the onion rings were soggily battered and didn’t come with the salt and pepper seasoning we’d asked for, and the meat spring rolls were a bit ropey. The salt and pepper chicken wings that got thrown in free (orders over £20 get free wings, over £10, prawn crackers) were really tasty and they certainly packed a punch. Oh, and my Thai-​style hot and sour soup was great. Nothing like the Szcechuan h&s soup I’m so fond of, more like a coconutty satay. Very spicy and very good, with big chunks of meat and a few juicy prawns. Definitely a good pick for soup fans.
I was excited to see fillet steak as an option, because I can be a meat snob, and sometimes find that the meat from takeaways can be quite gnarly. Me, I’m not a fan of gristle. While, on arrival, my fillet steak was more likely to be a cheaper cut, who cares? It was £7.50, and the extra couple of quid really made a difference; the meat was juicy and tender, and there was lots of it. The boyf’s salt and pepper crispy beef was less great, but still good for the sub-£5 mark.
Gordon’s Kitchen is solid takeout grub. I would not be happy if I got GK-​level grub in a restaurant, but for a slob-​out in front of QI with a bottle of Tiger beer, it’s solidly good fare. Well worth having a look, if only because their choice and scope is so great! Ta for the heads-​up, Alf.

Gordon’s Kitchen: ‘Fish & Chips and Delicious Chinese Meals’. Dishes: numbered 1 – 208 as per British Chinese take-​away tradition. Menu: dirty white.
Hmm, doesn’t bode well…
Food: absolutely amazing. Prices: unbelievably cheap. Delivery Speed: speed of light.
Gordon’s Kitchen is the best Chinese take-​away I’ve been to in Manchester, without a shadow of a doubt.
The selection of main meals is the same as any Chinese take-​away, with nothing left out. The prices range from £4.40 to £5, for the King Prawn dishes. Also, you don’t even have to buy rice separately as every dish comes with either boiled rice or chips, which can be upgraded to egg fried rice for just 40p, to Chow Mein for 60p or to Udon noodles for £1. Starters are also ridiculously cheap, with the standard prawn toast and spring roles at £2 and the more extravagant going right up to a hardy extortionate £2.50. I always get the Siu Mai pork and prawn dumplings, which are honestly as good Dim Sum as I’ve had in many a posh Dim Sum restaurant.
For a main I recommend the Chilli & Garlic Sauce with your meat or choice, but I must warn its much much spicier than any Chinese I’ve had before so for those less inclined towards a pleasantly simmering mouth and a slight reddening of the ears, I would suggest the Ginger & Spring Onion Sauce, which is very similar but considerably less spicy. Also, one portion of prawn crackers is two huge bags full, enough to alleviate famine in a small desert ecosystem.
I do live fairly close but they deliver in an incredibly fast time, and unlike all other take-​aways I use, don’t panic and descend into paranoid mania when they realize they have to deliver to a block of flats.
